Mill Street Distillery Ale

Brewed by Mill St. Brewery
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Toronto, Canada

Growler courtesy of Tupalev. Dark amber brown body with a moderate beige/tan head. Moderately roasty aroma with a bit of a strange undertone that I can not put my finger on. Lightly nutty, mildly roasty flavour. Mild malt and appropriate bitterness. Average palate. Serviceable - not bad.

Growler - from the BrewPub. Shared with blankboy, jerc, mabel, mds and tupalev - growler thanks to tupalev. Deep clear ruby, decent off-white head. Nice roasty, nutty sweet aroma, mild yet slightly peaty - nice. Solid brown ale taste, nutty, nice bittering in the finish. Average body, mild astringency and carbonation, pleasing and drinkable.

1.89 L Growler, courtesy of my girlfriend Byn - pours a clear dark copper with a nice foamy off-white head. Aroma is sweetly malty, biscuity, but not without a certain amount of balancing woody hops. Very soft in the mouth - beautiful carbonation. Subdued English hopping in the flavour, as well as a twiggy bitterness near the very back of the palate that mingles with the faintest hint of citrus. Finishes with a caramel malt robustness. Slightly smoky as well. Overall, a soft, slightly spicy, earthy beer that makes it a perfect candidate for a growler, as it is superbly balanced and highly sessionable. This beer reminds me of a walk in the autumn woods. Good show.
